When submitting a patent application, the acceptance notice issued by the Patent Office is printed with a serial number, such as 201012652531.6 (nonexistent), which is the application number of the invention patent. Until this patent is authorized to get a patent certificate, the application number can really become the patent number. Such as ZL 201012652531.6.
2. Number
The application number is not equal to the patent number, and there are uncertain factors in patent application, especially the application number of invention patent is issued. Because the application for a patent for invention needs to consider the substantive examination of the patent, the application for a patent may take more than two years or three years. Don't use the patent and classify it as the patent number before the patent application is passed. In other words, just because a product has a patent application number does not mean that it is a patented product recognized by the state or local government.
3. It can be understood that the relationship between them is: patent number =ZL (initials of patent)+application number.
Application number: When the patent applicant filed a patent application in China National Intellectual Property Administration, China National Intellectual Property Administration gave the patent application acceptance notice and patent application number.
Patent number: After the patent applicant obtains the patent right, the patent number on the patent certificate issued by China National Intellectual Property Administration is ZL (patent initials)+application number. If a patent is being applied, but the ZL letter is added before the application number (making consumers mistakenly think it is an authorized patent), it is a counterfeit patent and the administrative department for industry and commerce will investigate and deal with it according to law.
Only when the product is authorized to obtain the patent certificate can it be determined that the product is a formal patented product.
